LOVEYS SAMPLES AND PATTERNS

 Loveys

There are several patterns for loveys: knit, crochet, fleece and a combination of all three.  

Loveys make great snugly gifts for kids at Kids Korner, shelters, or other organizations.

  For this type, Lia knitted a 12 x 12 inch square with Bernat Boa yarn held double, Julie crocheted the rounds, and Marianne assembled the Teddy Bear head.  To form the paws, we tied each corner.
